当你写作时，你试图发现一些你不知道的东西。

Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.

"Escribir es un acto de libertad, y la libertad siempre es peligrosa para quienes quieren controlar las mentes."

力气单薄就不要去背负重物，说话没分量就不要规劝别人。

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

当你年轻的时候，至少花6个月到1年的时间，尽可能地过贫穷的生活，尽可能少地拥有东西，在一个小房间或帐篷里只吃豆子和米饭，以体验你 “最糟糕”的生活方式可能是什么。这样一来，当你将来要冒什么风险时，你就不会害怕最坏的情况了。
